Subject: Where do you stand?

Put simply, I like Reach. I don't love it, but I like it.
The playability level was way high in my opinion. I didn't get bored of it too quick, and if I did there were always other games. I could always pop in Halo 3 for a nostalgia nuke. What is it I miss? Custom games. I always loved playing Fat Kid, or Cops n' Robbers in Halo 3, and Reach.
I'm not going to ignore the problems Reach had in it's days. But quite frankly, I was confused when people talked about problems with Reach. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Armor Lock did piss me off some, but I got around it. Atleast Reach got "fixed" but sadly it got "fixed" by 343i. As per the fact that I never had a problem with any of Reach's problems, I guess I just lucked out.

This brings me to Halo 4. I see no potential in this game. A new AAA company deciding to compete with all of the other top game companies out there does NOT ignore any of the problems about their game! There are some game breaking issues in Halo 4 that really need to be fixed, and 343i hasn't even attempted to mention the fact that these need to be fixed. Instead, they release a map pack that everyone has to pay for, (those who got the Season Pass) but instead they decide to SCREW UP and make it free.
They then take their mistake, fix it, and say: "Yeah that was a special gift."
Bull-blam!-, that was a god damned mistake. It's quite annoying when things like this happen.
I wouldn't have minded if Halo 4 got delayed about 2 months if it meant they could fix all of the problems with it.
Bullet magnetism is way high, it's too easy to snipe, quite frankly the game itself is TOO easy. Whoever sees who first wins. Simply as that.
343i should have invested more money in a Halo 2 anniversary with a built-in multiplayer, or simply just decided to fund more money toward bringing Halo 2 servers back up.
Halo 2 is the definitive Halo game. In term of multiplayer atleast.
As soon as multiplayer is out of the question Halo: CE steps in and -blam!-s -blam!- up.

TL;DR
Reach was fine, Halo 4 is bad, Halo 3 is good, Halo 2 is best, Halo: CE is core.
Where do you stand?

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

Well Default Reach is bad, TU Reach is okay, Default Halo 4 is horrible. I'll wait for the TU but I'm really not expecting anything good.

I am the Thorian, known as Species 37 to you people. I am an ancient sentient plant that is fifty thousand years old. My ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes my real age impossible to guess though you are welcome to try.

Halo: Reach was playable, Halo 4 is great, Halo 3 was the best, Halo 2 was bad.

I enjoy all of the Halo games but I do admit I had some fond memories with Reach.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Uh, there is a huge contradiction in this line of thinking.

Halo 2,in my opinion, had the worst matchmaking of all of the Halo games. The reason: rampant cheating and it was released way too fast so it was full of bugs that everyone exploited. Halo 2 had more game breaking bugs than any Halo game to date... I will admit messing with the bugs was fun from time to time but online multiplayer was not perfected until Halo 3.

Campaign wise

Halo 2 and ODST are amazing, Halo 3 and Halo 4 are good, Reach is alright, CE is ok but I found it a huge disappointment because it didn't live up to the 'ground breaking bes FPS of all time' everyone made it out to be. Although admittedly I first played it in 2011.

Multiplayer wise, Halo 3 is amazing, Reach is good, Halo 4 should be renamed Failo 4 or grenalo 4.

Halo Reach = Custom Games
Halo 3 = Best time of our lives and Machinima along with a wonderful community
Halo 2 = The Best
Halo 1 = Core

Reach is a little too simple.
There are a lot more games out there that hold your attention, give you a challenge or career progression other than just a rank.

It was good while there was plenty of people playing it ... but now it full of rage haters and people quitting.

TL;DR
Reach was fine, Halo 4 is bad

Shame the majority of people dont agree with YOUR OPINION.
Halo 4 online numbers are stomping all over reach.

So ... "Where do you stand" ... guessing you stand alone.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I believe Halo 3 has been the best Halo for MP. The reason I choose Halo 3 over Halo 2, is that Halo 3 is Halo 2 improved.

I think Halo 4 is Halo REACH improved. Halo 4 still has some issues that urgently need to be fixed. But if you remember, Halo 3 did not become the best at launch. It needed a TU to do that.

Hopefully a TU for Halo 4, will see massive improvements.

Agreed, but Halo 3 was not perfect untill its TU.

The only fault with Halo 3 I can think off was that the BR had a random spread. And the Trip Mine should had not changed from the Beta.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.
